FFs to get Tk 10,000 as allowance from Jan

Gopalganj Correspondent: The monthly allowance for Freedom Fighters (FFs) will be Tk 10,000 from January 2016, said Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque.

The minister made the disclosure while visiting Muktijuddha Smriti Jadughar of Hemayet Bahini at Kotalipara upazila of Gopalganj on Saturday.

At present, freedom fighters receive Tk 5,000 per month from the government, which will be increased considering the poor financial state of tens of thousands of them living across the country, he said.
